I cannot imagine what you are going through and his family but I'm here to be counted.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Many thanks to all here for their prayers and best wishes!

I am reminded of the incredible response of this incredible group some years ago. Briefly, it came out that the troops over there were having trouble getting supplies, fresh water, etc. AIR, the members of this forum donated well over $1000 to get those guys some stuff they needed, badly!

Bags designed to be filled with water and hung in the sun to provide warm water for washing, etc. Food sources, etc etc.

Thanks from a worried grandfather who would gladly take his place were it possible.

I continue to pray for your son and the men and women in service. God bless them, and you.

You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

Sir, Thank God for men like your Grandson that are there for US that can't be. As a Grandfather of three young boy's I can only imagine your angst. May Gods grace hover close to him and all who serve our Nation and it's people. God's Peace and Understanding of what will be.
